Ray - Thanks for a size comparison of the two lenses. Can't wait to see what you do with the old girl.

Kevin - Congrats on the 80-200mm, now you know why it was considered a pro lens. I am always impressed with this lens when I see images from it.

John - Congrats to you too. Give us a run down on the three when you have the chance. I still want the f2 version, I'm just not sure where it sits in my wish list. After using Nikki, I'm leaning to acquiring an 85mm before the 135.

Tonight I am celebrating my 19th anniversary of entertaining the Strawberry Patch with Karaoke. It is highly unusual to entertain in one venue for such a long period of time. I am proud to have served so many wonderful people and to have helped them achieve their 3 min 30 secs of fame. Quite a few of the folks that have passed through our doors have been some of the best singers that I have ever heard. I am sure that I have been entertained as much as I have entertained over the past 19 years.
Hopefully after tonight i will be able to spend some quality time with Nikki, I am looking forward to seeing what I can see with the old girl
